Dr. Eric Drexler, the father of nanotechnology, has just published a new website called e-drexler.com. Eric tells CRN his site "contains original information not previously published as well as new diagrams and computer animations". Here's a description from the homepage:
This site focuses on the science behind emerging technologies of broad importance, summarizing research results and offering technical perspectives on research directions. It includes tutorial material, new results, annotated bibliographies and links to external web resources. Initial topics include nanotechnology-based production systems (central to the future of physical technology), and secure, distributed computing (central to the future of informational technology). In both these areas, several widespread assumptions are very wrong. A better understanding can benefit both technical leaders seeking productive directions for research and development, and policy makers aiming to make wise decisions.
This looks to be a significant new contribution to the discussion of advanced nanotechnology, especially from the perspective of an eminent expert. But check it out, and then tell us what you think.
